im a bit surprised with people selling Henderson, he's been quite good for me. It's like when people sell Lucas! I mean wtf is wrong with you

I can sort of understand Adam, first season he was below average, but second season he has come into his own. Carroll had a good first season for me so I decided to keep him and he's done ok 2nd season. A player I don't really like on FM is Kuyt, I usually sell him second season. I try not to sell anyone first season because we have a shit budget anyway, I won't be able to bring anyone good enough to replace them.

In a very tight title race with City, attempted to retain my title is proving harder than I thought it would.

Decided to sell Andrea Poli, he's done ok but far too inconsistent, will rather take the on loan Labyad back and probably Suso back too after his awesome performances at his feeder team.

A bit of a rocky start to the season with Liverpool. Neymar had a great debut however has performed poorly the 2 after it. Andy Carroll is looking good scoring in his first match of the season as did Suarez. After failing to sell Defoe decided to use him in the first team as backup to Neymar and Carroll. Charlie Adam has been brilliant for me scoring in 2 of the 3 premier league games so far.

My final deals involved me signing Martin Olsson on deadline day for around £13m as well as Neymar for £36m and Shinji Kagawa for free. Jack Robinson needs some experience so planning on letting him go on loan to someone and use Olsson as backup. My defence has looked a little shaky so far but overall im pleased with the start. With Doni leaving I decided to keep Peter Gulacsi and renew his contract, he seemed good enough for backup, and for the wages he's on, I've got no complaints.

...oh *bleep*! Everton have a tycoon. £70m budget apparently. Go suck dick! This should be a fun few years with us two battling it at the top now!

Edit: Oh they are in talks for a takeover.

Chidley I managed to ship of Joe Cole to West Ham for £3.5m however i've had no such luck with Aquilani

England suck! I mean Carroll injured for two months! HE WILL NEVER REPLICATE THIS FORM!

Even with a pretty awesome start to the season, I see myself in 4th!

A Scott Sinclair double has just given me a 2-1 win over Stoke. Looking forward to the Cardiff game, I have a lot of players in the midfield so a lot of areas I can keep rotating. Having trouble with Shinji Kagawa, he's played poor and fell out with him over appearances and requested a transfer already! Any ideas on how and where to play him?

Into January 2014 now, this is my current team:A rotation policy is working quite nicely I feel, most of my players are performing pretty well. Had a few long term injuries, such as the likes Skrtel and Carroll most notably.

Hoping to sell sell Jermain Defoe this window after failing in the summer, with Sean Richards coming in from Walsall I think i'll give him a little run in with some tutoring, however he joins with a dislocated shoulder

He has the potential to be better than Neymar apprently!

With 12 goals plus 7 assists in 17 games for Walsall in League one with a 7.74 average, I think he could be brilliant in just a couple years.

With £11m left I have enough to bring in a viable replacement for Defoe, I may not even bring in a replacement! Stewart Downing has been pretty poor also, so if at the end of the season he is stilll playing average, then i'll let him go in the summer. Kagawa has been pure shite so im selling him also hopefully.

There must be some kind of virtual recession in my save or something, not one offer for any of my players!

I have managed to secure the signing of Vaclav Kadlec for free of Porto! He's progressed nicely and should do well as a replacement for Defoe at the end of the season. Theo Walcott is tranfer listed so lining up a move for him too
